Black sand beaches. I'm getting scratchy just thinking of all the bugs at this anchorage. Even though we all wanted to leave well before sunrise, it makes our favourite list because it was so beautiful and we were the only boat there - hmmm, there's a surprise.

Fly Bird Fly

On a dark and stormy night, off the coast of Tahiti, this Tropic Bird crashed into our cockpit. We thought it must be injured, however the bird stayed with us until sunrise and then flew off.

Daisie is Getting Ready to Fly to Australia
Daisie is getting ready to fly from the States to Australia in a couple of week's time. Donna and Dawn have trained her well; being in the crate means she get treats.
After a few more visits with the vet, she'll be ready for the big journey, 14 hours flying time from LA to Sydney.

Greetings from Fiji

| Musket Cove |
Owen and Elliot have been night diving, swimming, sailing and generally having a good time. Lots of photos taken but the slow connection does not allow image uploads!
Good news with Miss Daisie, she has received approval to enter Australia and will have 30 days quarantine in Sydney before she is released to us. Yes, it does feel something like a jail sentence.
Our Pacific Crossing is fast coming to an end. We are all looking forward to being reunited with family, Daisie, seeing friends and rediscovering our Aussie home after so many years away.

Anchorages... Taboga, Panama. March 20, 2010
On the weekends, Panamanians flock by ferry to the islands. We enjoyed Taboga, about 5 miles from Panama City, so much we sailed there twice while waiting for parts from the States. That's Bristol Rose in the center of the picture.
